Description

  The present invention relates to an image capturing apparatus capable of communicating with other devices via wireless communication.

  BACKGROUND In recent years, digital cameras that can be remotely controlled from a mobile phone by connecting to a smart device including the mobile phone via a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) or Bluetooth (registered trademark) have been known. There are a plurality of possible functions that are possible by transmitting an image from the smart device to the digital camera, instructing the smart device to capture the digital camera, or remotely controlling the smart device. It is also possible to issue an instruction to start up the digital camera or turn off the power from the smart device side. However, it is possible that activation and power-off of the digital camera is not possible depending on the state of the digital camera.

  In particular, power-off may not be possible due to the fact that the photographing process of the digital camera continues or the writing process of the card has not been completed. For example, a device such as a smart device that controls a photographing operation by remote operation displays the photographing state of the photographing device, error information, the remaining capacity of the card, the remaining battery capacity, etc., and affects the photographing operation of the photographing device. Techniques for verifying information are known (for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-330089

  In the case of the above-described technology, since information related to photographing of the photographing apparatus is displayed on the smart device side, it can be judged whether or not photographing is possible, but attention is not focused on power control of the photographing apparatus. Therefore, when the power of the imaging apparatus is turned off from the smart device, it can not be determined whether it is the timing when the power can be turned off.

  Further, in the case of the above-mentioned technology, the smart device is a device exclusively used for remote operation of the photographing apparatus, but the remote operation function is provided when a function other than the photographing function such as image viewing is installed as a function that can be performed from the smart device side. Need to finish. When the power of the imaging apparatus side is turned off, if the power can be normally turned off, the remote operation function of the smart device may be ended. However, if the power of the imaging apparatus can not be turned off, the power of the imaging apparatus can not be turned off if the function of the remote operation on the smart device side is ended.

  Therefore, it is necessary to control whether the power off on the photographing apparatus side is normally performed. When the power of the photographing apparatus can not be turned off, if the power of the photographing apparatus is turned off again, it is necessary to reenter the remote operation function of the smart device. Therefore, when the power of the photographing apparatus can not be turned off, there arises a problem that the number of steps of user control increases to turn off the power of the photographing apparatus again.

An image capturing apparatus according to the present invention comprises means for wirelessly connecting to an information processing apparatus, means for changing a camera mode from the information processing apparatus at the connection destination, means for issuing a shooting instruction from the information processing apparatus at the connection destination, and connection Means for instructing reproduction from the above information processing apparatus, means for instructing power off from the information processing apparatus at connection destination, and means for returning an error in response to the power off instruction from the information processing apparatus at connection destination And when the power can be turned off when the power off from the information processing apparatus at the connection destination is performed, the display of the information processing apparatus at the connection destination is transitioned from the remote control function screen to the top screen,
When the power can not be turned off, the display of the information processing apparatus of the connection destination is not transitioned from the remote control function screen.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the operation steps until the camera power can be turned off when the camera power can not be turned off by remote control from the smart device.

The handover is a function of connecting the digital camera 100 to a wireless LAN only by operating the smart device 200 and capturing an image in the digital camera 100 into the smart device 200.

  The remote control (photographing / reproducing) can control the operation of the camera from the smart device 200 side, and can operate the photographing function and the reproducing function, respectively. The camera mode can be switched from the smart device 200 while the remote control function is being performed. The digital camera 100 has a shooting mode and a playback mode. When shooting an image, the camera mode is set to shooting mode, and when playing back, the camera operates as playback mode. The remote control in shooting mode is called the shooting remote control, and the remote control in playback mode is called the playback remote control.

  The remote control has a function of turning on the power of the digital camera 100 when the remote control function is started, and a function of turning off the power of the digital camera 100 when the remote control function is ended. When the remote control function is started from the smart device 200 while the digital camera 100 is in the standby state, the remote control function can be started after the digital camera 100 is powered on. In addition, when the remote control function ends, it is possible to select whether the power of the digital camera 100 is turned off.

  When the power of the digital camera 100 is turned off, the power of the digital camera 100 may not be turned off, for example, when the button operation of the digital camera 100 is performed or the writing process of the memory card is performed.

  FIG. 3A is a screen example of the smart device 200. From the screen of the smart device 200, handover, remote control can be selected, and the function of the digital camera 100 can be switched. When “handover” in FIG. 3A is selected, it is possible to transfer an image from the digital camera 100 to the smart device 200 by switching from BLE connection to communication of the wireless LAN.

  When “remote control” in FIG. 3A is selected, the remote control function can be performed according to the mode of the digital camera 100, and the digital camera 100 can be remotely controlled from the smart device 200. When “handover” and “remote control” in FIG. 3A are selected, the digital camera 100 is powered on when the digital camera 100 is in the standby state.

  FIG. 3B is an example of a screen at the time of shooting remote control of the smart device 200. The shooting remote control function exemplified here does not change the shooting setting from the smart device 200 side. Various settings for shooting are performed by the operation of the main body of the digital camera 100, and the smart device 200 mainly gives instructions for shooting still images and moving images. Of course, it is also possible to make it possible to change the setting of the digital camera 100 from the smart device 200.

  FIG. 3C is an example of a screen at the time of the reproduction remote control of the smart device 200. In the reproduction remote controller mentioned as an example here, the function of image reproduction that can be performed on the digital camera 100 side can be executed on the smart device 200 side. The functions of the playback remote control are image sending, image enlargement / reduction display, multi-playing, video playback, and the like.

  The digital camera 100 is provided with an editing function such as protection, deletion and trimming of an image from a menu. Here, the editing function performed from the menu of the digital camera 100 is not considered to be performed from the smart device 200 side. However, it is also possible to execute all playback functions from the smart device 200 side by displaying the buttons operable by the digital camera 100 on the smart device 200.

  The remote control function can be ended by pressing the upper left button in FIG. 3 (b) (c). When the end of the remote control function is selected, a confirmation screen as shown in FIG. 3D is displayed whether the camera power is turned off. When "Yes" is selected here, processing for turning off the camera power is performed. If the camera power can be normally turned off, the display on the smart device returns to the top screen as shown in (a), and if the camera power can not be turned off, a warning screen as shown in (e) in FIG. 3 is displayed. indicate.

  FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram when the camera power can be turned off at the end of the remote control function. It is assumed that communication between the smart device 200 and the camera 100 is established in advance by BLE and the remote control function is started.

  The user selects the end of the remote control function in S401, and selects the power-off of the camera in S402. In step S403, the smart device 200 notifies the camera 100 of a termination request of the remote control function with the power OFF. The camera 100 determines whether the power can be turned off (S404), and notifies the smart device 200 of the determination whether the power of the camera can be turned off in S405. If the camera power can be turned off, the smart device 200 ends the remote control function and transitions to the top screen (S406).

  FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram when it is impossible to turn off the camera power at the end of the remote control function. It is assumed that communication between the smart device 200 and the camera 100 is established in advance by BLE and the remote control function is started.

  The user selects the end of the remote control function in S501, and selects the power-off of the camera in S502. In step S503, the smart device 200 notifies the camera 100 of a termination request for the remote control function with the power OFF. The camera 100 determines whether the power can be turned off (S504), and notifies the smart device of the determination whether the power of the camera can be turned off in S505. If the camera power OFF can not be performed, the smart device 200 displays a warning screen indicating that the camera power OFF can not be performed (S506), and after the warning screen is hidden, the remote control function screen is displayed again (S507).

  FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram when the camera power is not turned off at the end of the remote control function. It is assumed that communication between the smart device 200 and the camera 100 is established in advance by BLE and the remote control function is started.

  The user selects the end of the remote control function in S601, and selects not to turn off the camera power in S602. In step S603, the smart device 200 notifies the camera 100 of an end request for the remote control function without power OFF. The camera 100 performs remote control termination processing, and notifies the smart device 200 of termination of the remote control in S605. Upon receiving the notification of S605, the smart device 200 exits the remote control function and transitions to the top screen (S606).

  Next, the flow of processing of the smart device 200 in the present embodiment will be described using FIG. 7.

  The flowchart assumes that the near field communication unit 112 of the digital camera 100 and the near field communication unit 212 of the smart device 200 are in a communicable state by BLE. An application for controlling the digital camera 100 with BLE is activated by the user and the operation of the touch panel 205 c of the smart device 200, and the remote control function is started from the state of execution.

  In S701, the smart device 200 receives a request for termination of the remote control function from the user. The user specifies whether to turn off the camera power at the end of the remote control function. If there is no request for turning off the camera power in S701 (S702), the end request for the remote control function is notified to the digital camera 100 and the continuation of turning on the camera power is requested (S704). When the digital camera 100 notifies the remote control function end notification, the smart device 200 transitions to the top screen (S709). If there is a request for turning off the camera power in S702, the smart device 200 notifies the digital camera 100 of a termination request for the remote control function and sends a request for turning off the camera power (S703).

  In response to the request for turning off the camera power, it is determined whether the power of the digital camera 100 can be turned off (S705). If the power can be turned off, the smart device 100 exits the remote control function and transitions to the top screen (S709).

  If it is determined in S705 that the camera power can not be turned off, a warning screen indicating that the power can not be turned off is displayed on the smartphone 200 (S706). Since the warning screen needs user confirmation, it is desirable to have a screen with an OK button so that the screen disappears by user operation. The warning screen may not be a button with an OK button, but may be a screen that disappears with a timer. In the case of a warning screen with an OK button, the warning screen is erased by pressing the OK button (S 707). If the power can not be turned off, it remains in the remote control function, and when the warning screen is erased, the remote control screen is displayed (S 708).

The pattern in which the camera power can not be turned off includes factors such as shooting, camera button operation, file writing after shooting, and the like, which are tied to shooting operation of the user and shooting of the user operation trigger. Therefore, the state in which the power of the camera can not be turned off does not continue for a long time, and the process may be performed again according to the sequence from S701.
If the camera power can not be turned off, the screen returns to the screen of the remote control function in S 708. Therefore, when it is desired to turn off the camera power again, the remote control end request may be issued by pressing the remote control end button.

  According to the present embodiment described above, even if the digital camera 100 receives a remote control end notification from the smart device 200 with the power OFF and can not turn off the camera power, the remote control end request can be issued again in one step. At this time, it is possible to reduce the number of user operation steps for ending the remote control function with the power OFF of the digital camera 100.
